The police raided the house in the Amalapada area and detained two women from outside the state, two customers and the house owner.

According to police sources, the team received information that an alleged prostitution racket was being operated from the house, which displayed a nameplate identifying the resident as “Kunj Mohan Swain, Inspector of Police, Retired”.
